🦔Microsoft filed a patent application for AI that can change what people say during a live broadcast. The system can remove or swap out words, then adjust the speaker’s mouth so the video still matches the new audio. Microsoft pitches it for live translation and fixing slip-ups, and says each viewer could set their own filters, like muting profanity. It could also keep the original recording on file. For now it’s only a filing, so it may never ship. My Take I’d leave this one in the patent drawer. Live TV is one of the few places left where people assume they’re seeing what happened, and a tool that hands each viewer their own edited version of a press conference wipes that out. Markets trade on single words. A Fed chair hints at a cut or a CEO fumbles guidance on a call, and stocks move in seconds. Big funds already pay for raw feeds and instant transcripts, so they’d keep the unedited version. Most regular investors catch a clip on their phone an hour later. I’ve said for a while that AI fakes will turn the truth into something you pay for, and this would push retail even further behind. Hedgie🤗
